Synopsis

Perhaps the most important work of philosophy written in the twentieth century, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was the only philosophical work that Ludwig Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. Written in short, carefully numbered paragraphs of extreme brilliance, it captured the imagination of a generation of philosophers. For Wittgenstein, logic was something we use to conquer a reality which is in itself both elusive and unobtainable. He famously summarized the book in the following words: 'What can be said at all can be said clearly; and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.' David Pears and Brian McGuinness received the highest praise for their meticulous translation. The work is prefaced by Bertrand Russell's original introduction to the first English edition. (less)

Like any of Wittgenstein's pieces, this is an immensely challenging work, and it rewards re-reading. He switches registers fairly often: not only are there no discreet subject-area markers or "obvious takeaways," but the tone and voice he pitches the discussions in shift, too. That these are student......more

„Există aici o legătură cu diferența dintre cauză și motiv. La tribunal ești întrebat care a fost motivul acțiunii tale și se presupune că îl cunoști. Dacă nu cumva minți, se presupune că ești în stare să spui care a fost motivul actelor tale. Nu se presupune însă că ai cunoaște legile care guvernea......more

Goodreads review by Federico on August 26, 2022

Raccolta eterogenea di testi (per la maggior parte appunti degli studenti di Wittgenstein) che trattano gli ambiti più marginali (secondo alcunx) della filosofia di Wittgenstein. La conferenza sull'etica ricalca le tematiche del Wittgenstein del Tractatus, mentre le altre lezioni appartengono al Wit......more
